Weird, I must be seeing a different screenshot, because all I read here is “TP Link would like you to overwrite its firmware with OpenWRT.”

Hold up. Since when can you put OpenWRT on non linksys routers??? I stopped following the project years ago when i stopped using linksys routers. Have they expanded their repertoire?

I’ve been using it for 10+ years on a combination of Netgear, TP-Link and Raspberry Pi hardware, so at least that long?

The last time I engaged with OpenWRT was around 2010 so that tracks.
